STEERING WAS VERY STRANGE AND FELT LIKE VEHICLE WAS ALL OVER ROAD. I WAS ONLY GOING APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH MAXIMUM AS I WAS GOING FROM STOP LIGHT TO STOP LIGHT. WHEN I ACCELERATED FROM INITIAL STOP LIGHT I HEARD A CRACK AND LOUD SCRAPING SOUND. I WENT APPROX 1/10 MILE TILL I COULD PULL OFF ROAD ON SHOULDER THEN INTO PARKING LOT. WHEN I GOT OUT TO SEE IF I COULD SEE ANYTHING WRONG I NOTICED UNDER CAR IN FRONT OF REAR WHEELS THAT WHAT APPEARED TO BE STABILIZER BARS FOR REAR WHEELS WERE HANGING DOWN UNDER CAR AND THAT THE FRAME ON BOTH SIDES WAS BROKEN IN HALF . I HAD NO PREVIOUS INDICATION THAT THIS WAS BREAKING. I FEAR THAT...
